Sessions & fees
How her approaches work online and in sessions
Attachment-based work looks at how early patterns of relating affect current relationships and feelings. It helps people understand why they react strongly in close relationships and supports new ways of connecting. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical steps to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. Mindfulness therapy teaches gentle awareness of thoughts and sensations to reduce distress and improve day-to-day coping.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Julia will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest techniques that fit. She works collaboratively so clients can try different ways of working and pick what feels most useful.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls suit longer, face-to-face style conversations while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging can be used for shorter check-ins or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and travel, while keeping the focus on practical support and progress.
